Am Grateful Still, 2012!




This year has been a series of one unfortunate thing after another for me. I don't know if this is sort of some psychosomatic effect from my pessimistic view of this year. Maybe subconsciously the film 2012 has taken root and sprouted evil malicious vines inside my head and heart. Hahaha. Or maybe I simply had a bad year. Darn fates. Hehehe. But no, I shouldn't shift all the blame on some overly sensationalized film with over-the-top special effects but little plot... or to some other unknown entity, should I? I probably should put some of the blame on my diminutive shoulders. Nobody forced me to take this or that particular road or highway... or make this or that bad decision, after all. :P

However, despite all the bad things that happened to me this year... not to mention that really unfortunate and partly anger-inducing accident that I've chosen to erase from my memory forever... there are also good, nay great, things that I got or gained this year. I learned a lot of new and cool stuff. I met a group of great and pretty interesting people. And I learned that I have my limits, which is quite enlightening, I tell you. I'm not much of an achiever of anything but I've always thought I could learn anything that I put my mind to. Obviously, that was just someone's attempt to tell some white lie to someone else for an ego boost or something of the sort. :D Yes, I could be naive, too. Haha.

In conclusion, I had a pretty good year. 2012 may not have been good to my wallet... but it was certainly great where it really counted.

Hope next year would be "greater"...not just "better". And yes, this is me trying to be cute... and I will never do it ever again. :P

Merry 2012, everyone!

Funny Day

This surprised me when I pressed "home" on my net browser.  Strange, but cute. ^_^ Grazie, Google! I guess? And no, I still don't celebrate it. Haha!

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least.  Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app...  If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.   ~ John 8:36  To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid...

Knitted Fingerless Gloves

Just created my first ever knitting design -- cable-stitched fingerless gloves! Yay! Here's the short of it... I just resigned from my latest regular office job and am currently catching up on all the hobbies I've sorely missed when I was still frantic with ridiculously impossible quotas and tear-inducing deadlines. So, here I am... going back to my knitting, crocheting, reading, and telly-watching -- not to mention my blogging. Finished 5 books, caught up on my TV shows, and found all my crafting tools from my poorly organized box... just last month. Have also been able to get my lappie fixed and got most of my personal errands done... except for a couple or so. Not bad eh? But the thing I'm most proud of accomplishing lately is that I finally got to create my own knitting pattern design... something that actually required more than plain straight lines. Hehe. Et voila! Got the idea from a friend who was suffering from an over-enthusiastic air conditioning applia...
